Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Last Night of the Proms & Gianni Schicchi
The New Aquarian Opera Company are delighted to be back at the Barn Theatre so soon as part of the centenary celebrations on the 8th June at 7.30pm. For one night only, come and celebrate The Last Night of the Proms with our wonderful singers and orchestra! There will be all the usual, well-loved favourites, so don't forget your flags and be prepared to join in.
As it is also the centenary of the passing of Puccini, the first half of the evening will be a semi-staged production of his wonderfully funny, one act comic opera love story, Gianni Schicchi. The action takes place in Buoso Donati's bedroom immediately after his death, where his greedy relatives realise he has left all his money to a monastery and plot with Gianni Schicchi to posthumously revise the will. This is Puccini's only comedy and contains some sublime music, including probably the most famous soprano aria of all time O mio babbino caro We are using the English translation by Amanda Holden, who's wonderful version of The Marriage of Figaro we performed last year.
Tickets costing just £20.00 are available from www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk
